The old man didn't even spare Cecilia Lynch a glance, acting as if he hadn't heard a word she said. His intention to send her away was perfectly clear.
Seeing that pleading with the old man was useless, Cecilia could only shift her gaze to Bella Acker. "Bella… The Little Queen Acker, I spoke without thinking and made Grandpa Sinclair upset. Could you help me talk to Grandpa Sinclair? It's fine if he's angry with me, I'm just worried he might hurt his health by getting so worked up."
Bella had been calmly sitting to the side, watching Cecilia make a scene in front of the old man. She originally thought that at a time like this, Cecilia would finally wise up and retreat in the face of difficulty. She hadn't expected Cecilia to actually come begging her.
